The Center for Building Science and Performance (CBSP)
encompasses a wide range of issues from code compliance to
sustainability, from energy conservation to post-occupancy
evaluations, building science and many more.
CBSP promotes the application of building science principles to the
design and construction of buildings. The advisory group includes
individuals who have rich educational and experiential involvement
with building science, analysis of thermal envelope issues,
production of details and guidelines to support these activities,
and extensive professional connections to experts in this field.
Alliances have been formed with other recognized organizations to
provide the knowledge base necessary for training, educational
materials, and opportunities for AIA members. CBSP is enthusiastic
about sharing this knowledge with architects across the country to
provide a tool to facilitate good, healthy design and a clearer
understanding of building science basics.
CBSP is also a source of knowledge and expertise required for
disaster assessment. This knowledge community has individuals
qualified in code, standards, forensics, design and planning
methods relative to the evaluation and description of lessons
learned from the impact of natural disasters on building
performance.
